Star Wars & Video Games have been in my life since 1982 (yikes i am getting old). I play a wide range of games (L4D, NFS, Civ, Sims, C&C. Poker) across all platforms.
But as I get older I find I have less time to play them ALL. SWTOR has (luckily) helped me satiate multiple game addictions all in one fix. It is crazy to look back and ahead and see the journey I have taken with video games and its exponential evolution since the days of Pong.
The Nar Shaddaa Palace gave me the chance to bring all of my toons together in one place, make it a functional “truck stop” for all of them, show off my entire collection of items in SWTOR, display my admiration for lore, and add a personal touch to all of the stories of the game. Although not yet completed, my work is nearly finished. I have subtitled all of the individual items in the pics I have posted. Some things I did not subtitle as I want the viewer to figure out why I chose certain scenes and items. Everything in the SH is placed in spots for a reason and I tried to keep the theme as consistent as possible. Since many people stay in the stronghold from many factions, I thought it only fitting that we divide the place in two (like the war of the roses) to prevent any “incidents” while I wasn’t there. So the Republic owns the West half and the Imperials own the East half.
Here are the features of the stronghold by room layout (each pic is labeled):
Grandstand (Entrance) – Welcome Center, Full Concierge Services, Quick Travel Access to Luggage, Taxi Services, Secure Market Transactions
Central Hub (below Entrance) – Main Dining Area, Two Cantina Bars, Banquet Hall, Dance/Concert Stage (converted), Central Traveler Receiving (those guests not traveling by ship use Hypergates)

A handful of changes to come once I am able to secure a few more essential decorations to complete my theme. My next project will be to arrange an invasion force where the starship hook is.
I also posted supplemental pics that wouldnt fit here on the Show off Your Stronghold Thread here (http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=759560)
I can’t tell are they model ships in the solarium pics? that is a lot if they are! very very nice
Great looking place, I must say. I can tell that there was a lot of work and thought involved in acquiring and placing all of the decorations. I love how each room had its own theme. Nice work.
Thanks for checking out my place. I appreciate all the nice emails. And Thank You Very Much for the votes. If you have questions you can post here and I will check back every few days. Vin
I love the Bee Grees Lamp Reference… I lol’d
Two words come to mind when I look at all the pics
Whoa and Wow
Cheers!
A bit cluttered with decos (doesn’t seem like there’s much room to walk around), but at least it’s consistent with the themes for each room, so props to you for that.
